Default increment Address formula

Excel 2003
I have the following formula.
="Reference " & ADDRESS(1,1,4,TRUE)
When I try to drag the formula down to copy it to more cells, the formula
doesn't increment the row.
ex:
Cell "I1" ="Reference " & ADDRESS(1,1,4,TRUE)
Cell "I2" ="Reference " & ADDRESS(1,1,4,TRUE)
etc.

I want:
Cell "I1" ="Reference " & ADDRESS(1,1,4,TRUE)
Cell "I2" ="Reference " & ADDRESS(2,1,4,TRUE)
etc.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this:

="Reference " & ADDRESS(Rows($1:1),1,4)

"True" is superfluous in this case, since it's omission also returns the A1
style.
